Yorkie Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Today was pretty similar to West Ham, like. Gifted then the initiative in the first half and couldn't climb the mountain we made for ourselves. Today's opponents were just better today so the scoreline is worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Warthog Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Had to disappear for a while to chill out...! Chastening defeat but we can't argue with it. We just have to hope Eddie has another 'meeting' (same after Brentford loss) and it makes us kick on for the next half-dozen or so games. Southampton away next... points dropped there will be met with angst, I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUICE690 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) Hard to know what went wrong, other than everything. Eddie must have know they'd come at us like they did. He must also know that a lot of our players aren't press resistant. Could we have slowed the game down and played it at our pace? I'm not sure, they just ran at us in numbers and we have a few players that just can't handle that. The trouble today was that even the players that are more press resistant, played poorly. Think the team let him down personally. All their goals (I turned off before the 4th, thank fuck) were down to us giving the ball away, constantly.

Don't feel like watching another kick this weekend after that If Newcastle lose, I don't watch any football until the next time we play. I proper take the huff with it. My next viewing will be next Saturday when we play Southampton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Mental fatigue, physical fatigue. We’ve played a lot of football in the last few weeks and it caught up. Bournemouth were the best we’ve played all season. Very well organised and confident on the ball. They were stronger than us and wanted it more. It was obvious we were losing the game but shipping the two late goals leaves a bad taste. Was so sloppy. We don’t seem to be able to win games when we aren’t playing well, feast or famine.

Yorkie Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Boss on TNT pointing to fatigue. If that's true then we shouldn't worry too much as the fixture list eases at least for a little while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Seeds of that performance were sprouting against Wolves. I had a tiny thought in the back of my mind that Gordon might go off the boil a bit as soon as Barnes was injured. Shame coz I’d brought Barnes on for both games. Think we were leggy. If you’re a fraction behind at this level you like mugs. I honestly think we could learn a thing or 2 off Bournemouth. They’re very very well coached. Chin up, everyone. We might be having a dip but we’ll bounce back. Got a week to R&R and get some patterns back into our play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did look like it to be fair, it wasn't a coincidence that the guy that had 10 months out (without and injury) was the player with the most energy.

Stottie Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Looked leggy and were completely outplayed. Our defence, esp. the CHs, looked completely unprepared for press and were lucky to not be caught out before Bruno was. We were lucky to not go two down earlier in the second half, esp. with the out of play goal. We failed to adjust to a soft referee and should have done more fouling ourselves. Congrats to Bournemouth who played well and didn't look remotely like a team with many injury issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 What annoyyed me the most was how weak we were on the ball. Everyone got knocked.off the ball so easily. And our touches today was horrendous. Always stretching for the ball.after the first touch Lose every second ball. Misplaced passes all over the pitch. Overhit ones too. Just an absolutely horrendous day. And fuck 12:30 kick offs. Crowd was as dead as the Gallowgate pigeon so fuck off TNT for choosing us in this slot again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
